RoSSER,.s FOOL TAX.

General Rosser may have been a
good soldier and may now be an eX-
cellent citizen and an intelligent man,
but when he advises the people OF
the Shenandoah Valley to treat with
disrespect Gen. Sheridan, on account
of his military acts during the war,
he belittles himself and Injuries the
lost cause. As Gov. Curtin well
SAYS, YOU do not hand around your
visiting cards in war, and if Rosser's
fool talk amounts to anything, the
same advice would be good to the
citizens of Chambersburg, who real
lied in its fullest sense, the effect OF
the southern soldiers torch. The
least said and the more that can be
forgotten Of the unpleasantness in
the family of States, the better it
will be for all concerned. There are
two sides to history of those events
Mr.. Rosser. and as to the right and
the wrong, you are not an impartial
judge.

ae Race FOR None.

Pol;tica AZ .s,s---s i ~ Passions
Race FOR Money
The alarming disease of this
country is nervous debility and
prosnation. 1t goes under
mary names but it is essen
tally the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average Of life
In tie United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without ap-
parent reason, or under so-called
depression of spirits,' are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
perlty. They wreck manhood's
strength and woman's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles Of pow
erty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we.
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
fish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and In
the organs of Digestion, Assim-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starved; :
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out it's walnings:-headache,
in the morning; a persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base Of the brain; wakefulness;
loss Of appetite and disgustwith
food; loss of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
iety without any assignable
re son; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation of the heart; sal
1owness of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
donment of the habits and GUS
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use of Shaher E1tract Of Roots
(Seigel's Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anon, n. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. To do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting the secretion Of bile, ex-
pelling waste matters from the
system and purifying the blood.

FARM NOTES.

According to experiments made at the
Pennsylvania State College, soiling rye
yields twenty tons per acre Of green
crop. and pasture grass seven and one
half tons. Some rye Yields four and
one. half tons per acre of dry substance.
and pasture grass two and three-fourths
tons. The rye contains twice as much
crude fibre and only half as much pro.
teine as is present in pasture grass.
The plan Of . farmer for securing
large crops is thus stated by him: Il
tell my men to harrow the ground until
they think it is narrowed twice as much
a. it ought to be, and then tell them it
is not narrowed half enough" Thorough
pulverization of the soil is more impor-
tant than any other work bestowed upon
